The Israeli Kan channel reported that a Saudi source characterized the leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, Yemen, and Iran as heroes while portraying Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations that are normalizing relations with "Israel" as "traitors".

The channel disclosed that its source is from the Saudi royal family, highlighting that "Saudi Arabia is losing patience" and stressing that Riyadh "does not intend to compromise on the issue of the Palestinian state" because it is determined to resolve this matter.

It further stated that Saudi Arabia "will not invest in Gaza's restoration, as another war is likely to erupt shortly afterward," emphasizing its focus on achieving peace, specifically through a comprehensive peace agreement. The statement highlighted that "the ball is in Israel's court."

The Kan channel reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is "a captive of the extremist agenda within the coalition and the government," adding that "this state of affairs is unsustainable." According to the Israeli channel, “the discourse on war in the world has changed in favor of the Palestinians.”

The popular rejection in Saudi Arabia of normalizing ties with "Israel" has three dimensions, claimed the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in "Tel Aviv".

According to a newly published report, the three dimensions are religious, pro-Palestinian, and liberal. On the religious dimension, the Israeli institute claimed that Saudis view "peace with Israel as contrary to Islamic law."

The second dimension, the institute claimed, is that a pro-Palestine position by the people of Saudi Arabia opposes normalization "as a demonstration of support for the Palestinians." The report even mentioned an X account known as Saudis with Al-Aqsa which advocates against "Israel's" existence from an allegedly "Islamist and pro-Palestinian perspective." 

Lastly, the liberal dimension underscored that "ties with Israel could empower the Saudi regime to further violate human rights."
